A Literary Landscape: James Joyce
February 13th, 2008 by Steve BowbrickHere’s a little Irish jewel from before the tiger roared. Professor Denis Donoghue, a Joyce scholar (now at NYU), reading a talk about the author recorded in 1984 (the series was repeated last Summer). There’s something precious about this: it’s a fascinating talk but it preserves the fustiness and melancholy of Ireland in the decades between independence and the arrival of all that European money in the eighties. Like a time capsule from Dev’s Ireland (MP3).
